Sustainable Water Management de Daniel H. Chen

Sustainable Water Management: Green Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Editat de Daniel H. Chen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 sep 2016
While the world’s population continues to grow, the availability of water remains constant. Facing the looming water crisis, society needs to tackle strategic management issues as an integrated part of the solution toward water sustainability. The first volume in the two-volume set Sustainable Water Management and Technologies offers readers a practical and comprehensive look at such key water management topics as water resource planning and governance, water infrastructure planning and adaption, proper regulations, and water scarcity and inequality. It discusses best management practices for water resource allocation, ground water protection, and water quality assurance, especially for rural, arid, and underdeveloped regions of the world. Timely topics such as drought, ecosystem sustainability, climate change, and water management for shale oil and gas development are presented.
  • Discusses best practices for water resource allocation, ground water protection, and water quality assurance.

Recenzii

"A very well written and arranged, easy to read reference book by notable experts in the subject of water management and technology for sustainability."
— Dickson Ozokwelu, US Department of Energy, Bowie, Washington, D.C., USA
"The two-volume set Sustainable Water Management and Technologies, edited and compiled by Daniel Chen, covers a broad spectrum of current-day issues and challenges in water resource management and stewardship arising from increased demand for energy, food, and water, and the rapid expansion of new technologies for energy production via Shale gas and unconventional hydrocarbons. Topics include current best practices for water purification and management, plus emerging developments in nano and biotechnology, as well as advanced separations to address future needs. It is what a handbook should be, a go-to reference set to provide background and grounding for a highly important area of science and technology."
— Joseph B. Powell, Shell, Houston, Texas, USA
